Summary

This trial tests whether intermittent dietary restrictions—either low-carb or calorie-restricted diets on two days per week—can reverse early signs of heart and metabolic problems in school-aged children aged 7 to 18. Participants have at least one risk factor like prediabetes, abnormal cholesterol, or high blood pressure. The study compares these diets to standard health education to see if they can improve children's cardiometabolic health.
